power of prayer

¹⁶Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be saved. For the unremitting prayer of a just person prevails over many things.

¹⁴If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

¹⁴and if my people, over whom my name has been invoked, being converted, will have petitioned me and sought my face, and will have done penance for their wicked ways, then I will heed them from heaven, and I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land.

¹⁷Pray without ceasing.

⁷If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, then you may ask for whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

¹³Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.

⁶Be anxious about nothing. But in all things, with prayer and supplication, with acts of thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God.

²⁶And similarly, the Spirit also helps our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself asks on our behalf with ineffable sighing. ²⁷And he who examines hearts knows what the Spirit seeks, because he asks on behalf of the saints in accordance with God.

⁷Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you. ⁸For everyone who asks, receives; and whoever seeks, finds; and to anyone who knocks, it will be opened.

²⁴For this reason, I say to you, all things whatsoever that you ask for when praying: believe that you will receive them, and they will happen for you.

¹⁴And this is the confidence which we have toward God: that no matter what we shall request, in accord with his will, he hears us.

¹³And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

⁵But if anyone among you is in need of wisdom, let him petition God, who gives abundantly to all without reproach, and it shall be given to him.

⁷For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of virtue, and of love, and of self-restraint.

¹⁹Again I say to you, that if two of those among you have agreed on earth, about anything whatsoever that they have requested, it shall be done for them by my Father, who is in heaven.

¹⁸Through every kind of prayer and supplication, pray at all times in spirit, and so be vigilant with every kind of earnest supplication, for all the saints,

⁷And so shall the peace of God, which exceeds all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

⁴For the weapons of our battles are not carnal, yet still they are powerful with God, unto the destruction of fortifications: tearing down every counsel ⁵and height that extols itself contrary to the wisdom of God, and leading every intellect into the captivity of obedience to Christ,

¹⁸Through every kind of prayer and supplication, pray at all times in spirit, and so be vigilant with every kind of earnest supplication, for all the saints, ¹⁹and also for me, so that words may be given to me, as I open my mouth with faith to make known the mystery of the Gospel, ²⁰in such a manner that I may dare to speak exactly as I ought to speak. For I act as an ambassador in chains for the Gospel.

¹⁸And he prayed again. And the heavens gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

²³And, in that day, you will not petition me for anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in my name, he will give it to you.

⁸Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.
